The Left points to Roy Moore’s win as defeat for Trump

A roundup of editorials Wednesday puts the GOP runoff loss of former Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange to Judge Roy Moore at the doorstep of President Donald Trump.

Opinions from the Left:

1. Roy Moore wins. The country loses.
From The Washington Post: Stephen Stromberg writes that Moore "stands for anarchy, disorder, disunity and conflict," and warns that every minute he can grab national attention is a minute in which the country loses.

2. Roy Moore's Alabama win just the start. GOP establishment beware.
From USA Today: Moore topped the populist president and has given others who want to buck incumbents a shot in the arm.

3. Roy Moore is everything Democrats want voters to believe about the Republican Party
From The Week: If you think President Donald Trump is divisive, wait until you see more of Roy Moore.
